YDL Multimedia Guide (vlc-0.9.8a) (Mplayer) +.....

[CoolZone]

Hello
when I built vlc 0.9.5 I needed to disable opengl so when you configure type

Code: Select all

./configure --disable-glx

along with the enable mozilla bits of course.
Although when I tried 0.9.8a without diabling glx it configured without errors

Next error :

checking for FRIBIDI... configure: error: Package requirements (fribidi) were not met:

No package 'fribidi' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables FRIBIDI_CFLAGS
and FRIBIDI_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Hello
you need to install fribidi, jaybps3 posted this at the start of this guide

Code: Select all

yum install libid3tag libid3tag-devel libmad libmad-devel ffmpeg ffmpeg-devel libdvdnav libdvdread libdvdnav-devel libdvdread-devel a52dec a52dec-devel qt4 qt4-devel fribidi fribidi-devel taglib taglib-devel lua lua-devel libdvbpsi libdvbpsi-devel live libcdio libcdio-devel libcddb libcddb-devel mpeg2dec mpeg2dec-devel x264 x264-devel SDL_mixer SDL_mixer-devel SDL_image SDL_image-devel SDL_ttf SDL_ttf-devel SDL_sound SDL_sound-devel pulseaudio pulseaudio-devel pulseaudio-libs pulseaudio-libs-devel  avahi avahi-devel  madplay libmodplug libmodplug-devel fluidsynth fluidsynth-devel live speex speex-devel libtar libtar-devel xmms xmms-skins firefox *gstreamer* smpeg smpeg-devel twolame twolame-devel lame lame-devel twolame twolame-devel libcda-devel xvidcore xvidcore-devel flac flac-devel



should configure after that

[root@myps3 vlc-0.9.8a]#

the error didn't take place for mplayer. Any idea for solving it? Many thanks!
Besides, I found that the "make" process of mplayer took ~20min while the "make install" process only took 10s. Is there any method to check whether my mplayer is updated to the latest ver.? Thanks again!

fribidi package is installed but I still get that error

[bonedome]

Hello
funny I never had any config errors when compiled on ydl 6 but with 6.1 I did (vlc), I'm hanging fire on this as jaybps3 (the man who somehow finds the time) is on the case.
As for which version of mplayer ydl is using, if you configured without prefix=usr it will end up in /usr/local/bin and linux looks in there before /usr/bin to check type

Code: Select all

which mplayer

if it says /usr/local/bin/mplayer it's using the version you built

[sa12257759]

A couple questions if I may,
duting the first big install it seemed to say a significant ammout of items were blocked due to protection, will it still work?
about how long would you say it takes to build vlc and mplayer with their plugins?
someone mentioned an rpm for something in this guide, if it works can I trouble you for a link.

thanks for your time and any help you can give me.

[bonedome]

Hello

a significant ammout of items were blocked due to protection

I take it this message comes up when you try to install with yum, this is good it shows protectbase is working, although there have been problems with it lately for me, I normally have 182 packages blocked then sometimes 76 (not good), I'd keep an eye on that as i installed something when protectbase wasn't working properly and it ruined my system and I had to reinstall.
The whole process takes about an hour, hour and a half if it configures/makes without errors.
Jaybps3 has gone off the radar lately which probably means he's (I'm guessing he's a he) busy puting the finishing touches to some ready built packages or got a copy of fallout 3 and has become addicted so I'm hanging fire at the moment, if you feel the need to do some compiling the latest mplayerplug-in (3.55 I think) is pretty quick and easy to install, read the install insrtuctions though as they're a bit less comlicated than jaybps3's instructions, no offence jaybps3

[sa12257759]

I can't seem to get this to work, whenever I try to make install it doesn't do anything.
It did when I tried it a couple re-installs ago though there were problems. It;s almost like the terminal forgot what I had been configuring and building between make and make install. Any ideas?

The youtube article doesn't work well full screen I'll have to reinstall those and browse for a fix, though I managed to get one of the video downloaders working but deleting viewed files is a major pain.

I will probably take a little break from video players, headaches all around eyestrain + errors + bugs etc.

thanks for your time, and the helpful information.

I was able to compile the 0.9.9 using the guide in this thread. When I play a file it gives me an error that it can't play simple files like h264 mp4 files and xvid avi's like it normally does, so it basically plays nothing.

I only compiled the newest because my 0.8.6 version won't open when I click it, any suggestions on it not opening or the above would be appreciated. thanks

has anyone discovered the solution trying to update vlc :

configure: WARNING: libhal >= 0.5.0 was not found. Install libhal-dev ?
checking for DBUS... no
configure: error: Couldn't find DBus >= 1.0.0, install libdbus-dev ?

a post in this thread mentioned the same error.

thanks.

I just removed my old totem and gstreamer setup, to start a fresh with this setup. I installed vlc with the mozilla plugin and mplayer. Now i can't use youtube with grease monkey anymore. I installed and enabled the vlc script and also removed the old totem script. When i try to play a video, i can see the vlc control panel. It says i need to install plugins. Do i need other plugins than those i installed from this guide?
Thanks Claus

@monkey: I don't know if this will still help you. If not, maybe it will someone else. I was getting the same error about libdbus not being found. I searched and tried a lot until I finally found packages simply named dbus and dbus-devel . So I did a:

Code: Select all

yum install dbus dbus-devel

and it got rid of the error.

My problem after that is when trying to ./configure vlc-0.9.8a I get an error that it cannot find libgcrypt >= 1.1.94 but when I do a

Code: Select all

yum list installed

an up-to-date version IS installed. So that's where I'm stuck. I can't get vlc-0.9.8a to ./configure.

After all this, I was able to get the Jaybps3 package of vlc 0.9.5 to install by doing

Code: Select all

yum install vlc

after doing a

Code: Select all

yum install xosd

Can anyone lend a helping hand to me, please? I'd like to get vlc-0.9.8a or later working.

(also, when I use VLC 0.9.5 to try to play a 720p mkv file containing AVC video, it tries but just can't do the video. I assume HD video is simply too much for the PS3's resources under YDL?)

jaybps3 provided the build of vlc 0.9.5 on the ps3bodega repo. Sorry I can't help much with building later versions, but I'm afraid it's not going to make any difference which version you try when attempting to play back HD video on OtherOS / PS3 Linux.

Thanks, billb, for the reply.
